A while back we finished building a new garage. Great, I thought, I can go back to doing my own oil changes and save some money. Bought the oil and filter, back then it cost me $19. Then crawled under my truck, spent 10 minutes finding some way to worm an arm in to reach the filter. Pulled the drain plug, got oil all the way from my hand to my shoulder, and some on the new floor. Had to use a C clamp to get a grip in the filter to get it loose. Got more oil on me when it came off. Then, once it was all back together and fine, I had to figure a way to get the old oil to the transfer station for proper disposal, resulting in more spillage. All told over an hour spent. Next time I needed an oil change I went to the quick lube place in town, cost me $22 and was done in ten minutes. Yes, I know they don’t let it drain long enough to get the last bits of sludge out, but I ran that truck for 240,000 miles, so I guess it was Ok.
Earlier I saw a video of a dad showing his two daughters how to change brake pads on a Super Duty F 250 lol He watched, they had gloves and air tools to break the bolts. Teach ’em early I say.I know of people who make good money doing just brakes and alignment.

Careful, Adam, taking advantage could backfire.

Oil change includes installing a new oil filter. What could go wrong with that?

A little like the folks that start training a week before the marathon: it just doesn’t work.

Katy, I’m sure you were mostly good. Santa knows you have a good heart.

She can’t really be that stupid to ask such a question.

I remember asking my daughter when she and her husband had last changed their oil. There was no comprehension of meaning…

Maybe she is big enough to handle the plug and the filter.

I had an oil change at Popeye’s. They used… no. I can’t say it.

Katy, you probably should get an early start at atoning next year, so you don’t have to cram everything into 2 weeks.

My car’s name was Baby Car, so Baby Oil is logical.
